I actually think Uganduro has a fair point - I guess it's inevitable that the primary routes become main thoroughfares, and if that helps aid and transport, it can only be good for the country/s and it's people...
...just as long as those countries don't become overrun with tarmac and greed (which sadly is also inevitable?), as per my quote above...
However, I'd also suggest it will be a long time coming before every inch of every road in Africa is tarmac - if you want an 'off-tarmac' adventure, there are still going to be plenty of roads and trails that will never be tarmaced, you've just got to stop following the well-worn routes and explore a little more?
